Final Quotes

Daniela Hantuchova: “Today was very tough because Ajla was playing some great tennis. I had to really fight for it – at the end I felt maybe I was a little fresher and sharper, and that decided the match. It means so much to me to win this tournament three times. I’ve never done that in my career and never thought I’d be able to. It’s always a special feeling playing in Pattaya. I’ve felt great here since the first match, and I’m very proud I kept it up all week.”

Ajla Tomljanovic: “There are too many positives from the week. I’m going to try not to dwell on this too much. I’ll just try to learn from it. There are things I can learn from this match and the week. Overall I think this was a really big step forward for me in Pattaya.”
